The ceremony was witnessed by ga full
house," despite the rain, which came dowr
in torrents. The bride was attended by Miss
Lille Howard, while E. F. Tetwiler. 6
younger brother of the groom, "braced" him
''for this occasion only" Unfortunately fol
us, the fire in the swamps for days previous
had filed our glances southwark so full OF
mlsgivings and our eyes Of smoke that our
heart failed us, and we di $500 there
Consequently, we can't desc de dresses
OF the bride and her attendant; and, to tell
an ingenious truth, we're not inconsolable
| that this is so: in dealing with such matters
| we are apt to get things little mixed
| which is infinitely worse than saying moth
| ing at all. After the knot-a knot no Choir
dian sword may seek to sever-was tied, the
party retired to the residence of F. w. May,
Esq, the father'of the bride, and held re-
ception from eight until eleven O'Clock. That
same night they boarded the train and came
to trenton, where the grOom's father and
sisters entertained them until Monday. A
reception was given them here on Thursday
evening, from eight until eleven, and many
Of the most prominent citizens called to coz
graduate them. Monday the newly married
pair and attendants returned to Poplar Bluff,
where the former, at least, will take up their
permanent residence. We trust that the
future which now appears SO bright to them
may lavishly fill their lives with all that rem
ders existence here grateful and pleasant.
The groom is blest in his fair partner, and
may congratulate himself in having secured

those sterling qualities Of head and heart
which will render her regretting her choice
an impossible conclusion. Gle is nephew
to the editor of the REGISTER, and of course,

pal" and we know we will get big chunk
first choice of the wedding cake.
